Re: Jackson Browne

Hi Bev,

I’m glad Jackson has recovered from his illness; I was to attend the canceled Melbourne concert, a complimentary ticket from a friend, so will now wait patiently until Nov 29. ;-)

Cheers,
Andrew :)

Re: Songs for Suzanne - Australia

Tonight’s performance of this show was sensational, in the more intimate venue of Thornbury Theatre. The sets were the same, but in terms of performers, the Duracks were not included. However, the addition of Alma Zygier was fantastic, as she’s a young jazz singer with an amazing noticeably unique v...

Re: Australian Painting Exhibition with Tributes to LC

Bev, I think you are right in your assessment of Melbourne in terms of LC related events… and indeed I do feel lucky to live here, but not just for that reason. ;-) :)

Re: Australian Painting Exhibition with Tributes to LC

Hi Anne, I like your thinking re Gina’s art. 8)

Re Bev’s attendance, she lives in Queensland, a long way from Victoria, and she hasn’t said anything to me about attending this, so I expect she isn’t… but we’ll await her confirmation of this supposition. ;-)

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Kevin,

I have seen this show before and do recommend it a lot. 8) You can see my report as per the link in B4real’s post above.

In fact I’ll be attending it again on Sat, 25th (Thornbury gig).

Re: New book: Leonard Cohen Everybody Knows

Maarten, thanks for that info and those two additional links.

John, I’m pleased, but a little surprised, that you already have sourced a copy in England. 8)

I’m getting a copy of this book from the said friend and her partner (my son, Tim) as a birthday present next month. :D

Cheers,

Re: Photo and Video show Ghent Event 2022

Wybe, once again you’ve excelled with a truly wonderful video capture of the event, which is the next best thing to being there in person. I would have loved to have been there this time, but it wasn’t to be. However, it was so nice to see so many Cohenite friends from over the years and Ghent looks...

Good to read that you enjoyed the movie.
Any information on it coming to Adelaide?

Alan
Alan, I believe it’s only Melbourne and Sydney screenings at present, with Canberra and Perth in August, but I expect it to have more widespread screenings in due course.

Cheers,
Andrew :)
